Early in the morning, went to Circular Quay to take the boat to Taronga Zoo. Bought spring roll to eat for breakfast again.
Bought the tickets online from Captain Cook Cruises for the Taronga Zoo Express which has tried try tickets for Taronga Zoo and 24 hours unlimted rides on the cruise at $53.50 + credit card charge. I think the captain cook cruises timing are quite limited, about one boat every 45mins- 1hr in between rides, so it is quite hard to fully utilise the unlimited rides.
From the bottom of the zoo, took the cable car up the zoo. You need to have pre-paid tickets to take the cable car up the zoo if not you will need to take the bus into the zoo.

Went to catch the seal show at 11am.

| Say Hi!!! |
I love the colour of this seal. Or is it a sea lion?

| See me aim and jump! |
We also paid $10 to take a picture with the koala. It's damn sad that we cannot hug the koala.
Haha, I transformed into my real self!
Me and my favourite animals. I really love gorillas!!
The tigers in Taronga zoo are really active. They were pacing up and down, up and down. Haha, then I heard it's because it was almost lunch time for them. Stayed there for quite awhile hoping to catch their lunch time but didn't managed to.
The giraffes really have a million dollar view from their house.
Didn't get to watch the bird show because during the first show we were busy queuing to take photo with the Koala and 2nd show was abit late cause we have to rush back to go to sydney eye tower. Anyway muihong has phobia of birds.
Took the boat at 3 plus to get back to Circular Quay so we can get to Sydney Eye Tower for our skywalk at 5.30pm. Bought the skywalk tickets at $50 which included entrance fee to observation deck and the 4D show. I enjoyed the 4D show but it quite short, about 5 mins or less.
Before the skywalk, we had to do the breath analyzer so make sure that we didn't consume any alcohol. After putting on the jumper, we had to go through the metal detector and the metal detector kept beeping when I walk through it and it beeped when the person used the manual one although there is nothing in my pocket. Super weird but managed to get up there.
The wind there was strong! As it was sunset, the view was super nice.
There was the sun on one side and the moon on the other side. Plus one
side of the sky was purplish pink and the other side was blue. Too bad
we cannot bring our cameras while doing the skywalk. Bought the skywalk
photos for $49.90, if I knew it was so expensive I may have gotten the
VIP tickets which cost $109 but will include the skywalk photos and the photos we took at the entrance.
Seriously ah, the person took so many photos but they have to choose this photo where I look damn ugly as one of the photos to be printed.
Be prepared for your hair to fly fly fly while you are up there.
The skywalk was really a good experience for me!!!

| On Sydney Eye Tower |
Surprisingly, Sydney Eye Tower is really small. I was quite surprised when I hardly walked and I already walked round the whole observation deck.
After Sydney Eye Tower it was dinner time at Menya Noodle Bar at 1 Market Street. It is walkable from Sydney Eye Tower with the help of google maps.
Super love the ramen here. Seldom you see spicy ramen that is really spicy. Super worth the visit!
After dinner to burn off the calories, we went to the supermaket.
Spent more than $100 at the supermarket. I think the cashier must be thinking I'm crazy, never see chocolates before. Half of the money spent went to Willy Wonka which were highly recommended by Karen but I have not tried it yet.
